oh thursdays... sometimes ya just stink

Wednesday-Friday, working with Special Needs 9-3. Love every second of it. And I'm getting a heck of a workout with it too! Who knew I'd be playing basketball, kickball, dodgeball, coaching and running relay races, and making sure everyone has assistance 24/7, whew! Tomorrow is pizza day.. :D My tomorrow is chocked full though; taking dad to work so I can have the car, he needs to take the van to the shop, (involves leaving around 730 or 8), working camp, leaving early to make it to work by two, then headed to Erin's house for a quick shower and a total redo of dress and makeup for a night out with her and Sarah and Uncle J downtown, then coming home, and all the while trying not to sweat from the humidity that's taking over the world.
Saturday will be chill-time till about 4 or so then dorm room shopping with my roomie for bedspreads and semi matching color stuff..? :) babysitting 630-1230, THEN I come home, sleep as much as I can, get up early and get to church and leave for camp (again =]) and am gone till Wednesday. I'm just praying that I get enough sleep, my attitude and temper will stay in check, and that God will be glorified throughout every moment of every day.
Amen

What a dayy... :-)

I have wonderful friends, and they feel even more real and precious to me since I've been sharing with them what God as taught me and they've been listening and sharing right back! Nothing is more thrilling at the moment to get excited about God and what He's doing and what He's yet to do in our lives, I can't wait.

I enjoyed my yesterday hangin with mah gals at O'Charlie's (if you've never eaten there, go fall in a ditch) helped give a group pep talk to someone I look up to as a big sister, spent the night at Sarah's house, (OH and helped her color her hair earlier that day... and I STILL have dye on my hands =p) went to work; I always forget how much I miss my kids until I see them again and they spazz out and tackle me with hugs and kisses :)))) came home to a house without power, ate some REAL good macaroni and cheese (props to liv) and then enjoyed the last couple hours of my night with some of my favorite brothers, and we enjoyed them by NOT watching 2012, but by drinking NOS, eating bagel bites, listening to weird songs on iTunes, and having Dex paints my toenails a "Flashy Fuchsia" and I doing the same for him. The first to flaunt them in public? Yet to come :D

Hope you enjoyed my schpeel about my past two days.. and if you didn't, at least I had fun writing about them so HA!

::AdOpTeD::

this past week of mine was spent at Jonathan's Creek camp in Kentucky. this past week was also receiving a heart transplant by the only One who could give it.
My mindset and thoughts and feelings seem to have been re-wired and my outlook on things has changed a lot if not all the way.

He is our Father
We are adopted into His family
We receive the greatest inheritance
And our future is miraculous

I pray that I will never forget this truth, nor will I ever forsake it; especially going into college.
Lord Jesus, You're the greatest of all time
Amen

fireworks! *capow capow capow*



today is da fourth of Julyyy and it was fun! :D my morning started off wonderfully, I got to church feeling triumphant with Family Force 5 and my favorite sister to back me up and then this afternoon/tonight was the fireworks show thingy at Buckhead. got to hang out with my two bestest friends in the whole entire world and two other awesome girls, got to mooch some ribs from someone else's barbecue, got to play with the son of a very single very attractive guy ;D and i got to enjoy a legit fireworks show.. by myself. It happens every year this way to the point of where I'm used to it, but I still mind. To me, fireworks are a very romantic and personal thing to share with someone, just cause; and every year I've wanted to watch them with someone of have someone ask me! but I think God is waiting for the right fourth of July to really wow me. I just gotta trust.. but more than that I gotta trust completely. Here's something that's gotten me through my weekend and my night:

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone--to have a deep soul relationship with another--to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God, to a Christian, says, "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone--with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me--to having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, will you be capable of of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me--exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing--one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow mw to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things--keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. You just wait, that's all.

Don't be anxious.Don't look around at the things other's have gotten or that I've given them. Don't worry. Don't look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and away up to Me or you'll miss what I want to show you.

And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you would dream of. You see, until you are both ready, (I am working even this moment to have both of you ready at the same time) until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I prepared for you; you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and thus the perfect love.

And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting beauty of union, perfection, and love that I offer with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am the GOD ALMIGHTY. Believe and be satisfied."

**the end**
